Dismissive avoidants often keep their deepest thoughts and fears completely hidden, even from their closest partners. But in counseling, once trust is built, surprising truths emerge. In this episode, Thais Gibson pulls back the curtain on five confessions dismissive avoidants have shared in private sessions, insights that explain their distance, hesitation, and hidden needs.

From the belief they’re “not cut out” for relationships to the way conflict can rattle them for days, you’ll see the avoidant attachment style in a whole new light. More importantly, you’ll learn how to build trust, communicate effectively, and create a connection where their needs (and yours) can truly be met.

You’ll learn:

• ✅ The hidden belief that they’re “better off alone”—and why it’s a learned defense, not the truth

• ✅ Why emotional closeness can feel unsafe, even when they crave love

• ✅ How childhood emotional neglect plants deep shame that’s triggered by even small feedback

• ✅ Why conflict overwhelms them—and how they can learn healthy resolution skills

• ✅ The surprising reason they often feel their needs aren’t met (even with a loving partner)

• ✅ How to meet each other halfway through clear, safe communication

• ✅ Access to a free course on the 5 key pillars of secure relationships

Meet the Host Thais Gibson is the founder of The Personal Development School and a world leader in attachment theory. With a Ph.D. and over a dozen certifications, she’s helped more than 70,000 people reprogram their subconscious and build thriving relationships.

Thais Gibson reveals the psychological root of why avoidants fall for people who prioritize themselves—and how your relationship to yourself creates the attraction blueprint.

• ✅ How people-pleasing is really self-abandonment (and how to stop)

• ✅ What the “relationship shadow” is—and why it shapes your patterns

• ✅ Real examples of how repressed assertiveness attracts avoidant partners

• ✅ How to transform your inner relationship and attract emotionally available people

• ✅ Why secure people are also drawn to self-connected individuals

• ✅ A free resource to start shadow work and healing today
